    erm, poem.

    my soul mourns for a lost love
    a love that is not there
    it seeks and seeks
    but still, cant break the barrier
    that holds it back.

    if I were to let it free
    into a habitat of its own
    it wouldn't be shut in a closet
    it would be free to the worlds galore
    but what does this have to do with anything?

    I'm just one searching for a lost love.

    Re: erm, poem.

    some form or rhyme would help tie your idea together. sonnets work amazingly well for this kind of idea.

      Both stanzas (much moreso the first) read better as quatrains.

      I also hope you weren't trying to rhyme "there" with "barrier". I don't think you were, but either way, trying to do so is a bad, bad idea.

      I think the final line of the second stanza sums up the entire poem:

      but what does this have to do with anything?
      The poem suffers from a lot of abstraction, and your choice of words is awfully strange. "Habitat"? "Closet"? "Galore"?

          thanks, I agree there should be more rhyme and no I was not trying to rhyme there and barrier.

            I read this as being about homosexuality.

                  Well what do you expect me to think when your poem says your soul is 'shut in a closet'?

                    I liked this poem.
                    I dont know what it was about the words, but I read it aloud and there is a songlike quality to your words. Even though the word choice is a bit strange. The words seemed as if they rhymed when they did not. I thought that was pretty cool. I am not going to say much about the poem's content though.

                      I said it was NOT shut in a closet!

                        if I were to let it free
                        into a habitat of its own
                        it wouldn't be shut in a closet
                        You wrote if you were to let it free, implying that it isn't. It's in the closet.
